Salad in a jar - ready in less than twenty minutes. This high-protein lunch option will be sure to get you through the rest of the workday!
1 In a small saucepan, cook quinoa following packet instructions. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
2 Spray a large non-stick frying pan with oil and set over a medium heat. Season tofu with pepper and fry for 2-3 minutes each side, or until golden. Set aside to cool.
3 In 2 jars, layer quinoa, mushrooms, spring onions, tofu, currants, orange, celery and almonds. Place lids on jars and refrigerate overnight.
4 Meanwhile, in a small screw-top jar, shake to combine sesame oil, miso, mirin, garlic (if using) and the reserved orange juice. Refrigerate overnight.
5 When ready to eat the salad at work, pour dressing over and scatter with sesame seeds. Serve.
Make it gluten free: Check tofu, tamari almonds, miso and mirin are gluten free.
Try to find a mix of red, white and black quinoa, or make your own mix for extra colour.
If you can’t find mirin, use 1 teaspoon of sugar instead.
